OK guys, here's my poll. What types of books does everyone out there read? I'll start with a few authors I have read recently: Robert Maccammon, C.S. Friedman, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, Brian Lumley, Stephen King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker, and on and on!

I read a lot of Fantasy, among them : David Eddings, Raymond E.Feist, Terry Brooks, Robin Hobb, Mercedes Lackey, Weiss & Hickmann, Robert Jordan, Anne Mc Caffrey, Jennifer Robinson (Oh, LadyWendy, if you don't know this one, try the 'Sword' series : Sword-born, Sword-sworn, ...)

I read Anne Rice now and then (I prefer the 'Witches' serie).

Otherwise, I pick a biography or a history or archaeology book or a French fiction book.

Oh, and I am a big fan of novels about time travel, time paradoxes and such.

R.A. Salvatore, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, Anne McCaffrey, some stuff nobody probably reads anymore like books by Alexandre Dumas (3 Musketeers and so on), and some biographies. Oh, and auto and computer graphics/animation magazines. Exciting.

Moiraine, those two you mentioned Mercedes Lackey and Anne McCaffrey I've seen on the shelves at the book store and came very close to buying one. Now I think I will, thanks! I'll keep the Sword born series in mind as well. Next on my list though is Robin Hobb, not in case you think one of the others is better?

I like fantasy-books, so I have read the wheel of time by Robert Jordan, shannara-series (don't remember the author), Katherine Kerrs books (don't know what the books are called in english), David Eddings books, and of course Tolkiens books.
Beside from fantasy, I haven't read that much, but I have read books written by Anne Rice (the interview with a vampire) and Stephen King.

I am not very good with names, so I am probably wrong when I said Anne Rice have written the interview with a vampire.
